Polling snapshot. How Johnson reinvented the Conservatives after they had recently formed governments three times

The coalition of voters that he put together has taken a battering – but it endures yet.

Rainer Zitelmann: Wealth taxes would be neither popular nor Conservative. Sunak must remember this tomorrow.

Contrary to what members of the Labour Party say, the evidence demonstrates that the public desire for high taxes on the rich is low.

Richard Holden: On Wednesday, Sunak needs to show as much confidence in Britain as local publicans in North West Durham

It was superb to see responsible local businesses investing, and ensuring a safe and socially distanced experience for their customers.

Starmer finds himself the bearer of bad news, a Roundhead reproaching the Cavalier PM for holding out the prospect of a rosy future.

“We will act in future to ensure we protect the health of the entire country…We are the builders, they are the blockers.”

Robert Halfon: Johnson delivers for the workers but Starmer could win back their votes

Never underestimate the power of Labour. Its message of helping the underdog and the poor is enduring, still popular and extremely potent.

Black Lives Matter UK: Who are its organisers?

Its decentralised hierarchy means there’s no obvious leader to engage with politicians and TV producers.

“Take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.”

The big picture is that Johnson is dashing for growth. We devoutly hope it works but the precedents aren’t promising.

Starmer sends a double message by dismissing Long-Bailey

He signals a new toughness on antisemitism…and invites a favourable comparison with Johnson over Jenrick.

Week by week, Starmer and Johnson become more determined to treat each other as alien and essentially despicable forms of life.

“Contrary to his prognostications of gloom, it has gone up and running much faster than the doubters expected.”

Richard Holden: Here in Durham, Labour ponder tinkering with statues – while local people yearn for jobs, security and pay

We need to switch from specifying “what’s allowed to open” to “what in the interest of public health needs to continue to be restricted.”

Polling snapshot. Is the statues and history fracas helping to solidify the Conservative vote?

The blue share in the poll of polls hit 43 per cent on June 2 and hasn’t moved the best part of a month later.

Tom Pridham: The SNP may be Starmer’s real stumbling block at the next election

Labour have more potential allies in the smaller parties, but the prospect of a coalition with the Nationalists could sink him in England.

Six months on from last year’s general election, it’s only the LibDems who bang on about Europe

The CBI supports the Government’s timetable and Starmer is keeping his head down. It is quite the turnaround.
